Catoctin Creek is the first family-owned distillery in Loudoun County, VA since before prohibition.

Catoctin Creek Distilling Company was founded by Becky and Scott Harris in 2009 as the first family-owned microdistillery in Northern Virginia. We are located in the heart of the Loudoun Valley, in Purcellville, Virginia. Loudoun County, often called D.C.'s Wine Country, is home to more than twenty vineyards and wineries, and is now home to its first distillery since Prohibition.

At Catoctin Creek, we believe in high quality food and spirits. Organic means higher quality: grain and fruit, sourced locally when possible, free of pesticides and chemical additives that would come through in the spirits we produce. Sure, it is more difficult to produce organically, but the results speak for themselves. And kosher is another way to respect the tradition of high quality foods.

L'Chaim!

Becky

Becky graduated with honors from the University of Wisconsin, Madison. As a chemical engineer, she worked at companies like Amoco, YDK America, and CIBA, specializing in industrial processes and production systems. Yet, Becky is also a generous volunteer at both school and through church. A voracious reader, there is no book that is safe from her scrutiny, whether on spirits or any other topic. At home, she is a gourmet cook, and shows enormous creativity with recipes and business ideas. If there is a fruit, vegetable, tuber or root with starch or sugar in it, you can bet that Becky will try to distill it.

Scott

Scott graduated with honors from Georgia Tech. He has spent the last twenty years building a software career in telecommunication systems and government IT solutions. However, Scott is a great lover of all things Epicurean. He and his father-in-law are the self-proclaimed Sausage Kings, producing a few small batches of chorizo and venison bratwurst each year. But liquors of all types are his greatest love (besides Becky, of course). Whiskeys from Scotland, Ireland and the United States. Brandy from France and Germany. And an eclectic German bitters called Boonekamp--the first liquor he ever tried, at age five! "It's good for the digestive!" as his old adopted German grandmother used to say.

At Catoctin Creek

Scott and Becky are happy to be doing something they love: Producing the finest organic and kosher spirits in the Northern Virginia and the DC metro area. At Catoctin Creek, high quality and organic spirits and liqueurs are our passion.
